Farmers block rail traffic in Amritsar, sit on mainline

Amritsar: After the six-day dharna outside the office of Amritsar deputy commissioner, hundreds of activists of the Kissan Sangharsh Committee (KSC) blocked the Amritsar-New Delhi rail route by sitting on the rail track meters away from the Amritsar railway station.
Hundreds of farmers took the local administration by surprise, as after lifting the dharna from outside the DC office, they suddenly moved towards the Bhandari bridge and sat on the rail tracks under it.
Due to this, the main Amritsar-New Delhi rail route has been blocked affecting the movement of various trains coming and going from the holy city.
